ps Robby - there's no Dragon armor kits in 1/48 What we have here is a Hobby Boss T34 with Hauler pe bedsprings Thanks for the compliment!
............oh yeah. That kit was 1/36. My "regular" sizes are 1/36 armor, 1/48 fixed-wing aircraft, and 1/72 whirlybirds. I guess my post was really a big compliment to both Hobby Boss and to you for making a model that can pass for a Dragon Premium kit!

I finished my Spit, not going to do any weathering; I will try some weathering on the next model. baby steps for this newbee.
My main goal on this one was to try to do a camo scheme and learn some basics, fairly happy with the end result. Looking forward to my next build.

Gary... Great job,nothing wrong with no weathering,just think of it as factory fresh,first flight
I have not had much time at the bench lately,as the honey do list is fairly large.Hope to get back on track soon.Most of My time has been spent filling and sanding,but I have gotten some work done.
Put some welds on the hull to hide seams.
Before...
And after,the left side was done first and as you can see it's a little large
The right side is the corrected version.
And the Roller has Skates, painted and dry fitted
That's it for now.Nice work by everybody.Jeff T.

Jeff - good job sneaking in more progress at home. To copy the banner (from 1/48 campaign #1 actually) go to the top right of that black Kitmaker banner and hit 'settings' then paste the link into 'url banner' and that's it

BF110 coming along. Much more relaxing than its FW190 friend there. So far the Fujimi relic has fit like no other. Love it.
I'm going to go ahead and keep steaming forward with these two birds, seeing as my Panther was waiting for parts from an apparently dead man over at olde depot hobbies. I re-ordered the goods from easyhobby but I think by the time they arrive it's going to be a sprint to finish the panther campaign on time.
At least this campaign will be done comfortably.

Hey everybody..............hope you are doing well. My name is Ian and I am going to jump in the fray with a Tamiya 1/48th scale Sherman that I am going to build as a New Zealander Sherman III from the Italian theater, '44. Looking forward to the campaign.
Regards, Ian
